TOTTENHAM Hotspur’s official confirmation that Teddy Sheringham will be leaving the club at the end of the season, as revealed in The Times yesterday, was tastefully done. A statement on the club website said that the decision “has been made with an eye very much on the future and has been mutually agreed with 37-year-old Teddy, who now becomes a free agent”.

Glenn Hoddle, the manager, praised the former England forward effusively. “Teddy has performed a great service for us, not just on the field but by setting such a superb example for our younger players,” he said. “He has also just completed another marvellous season for the club and we wish him well in the future.”
